So, what’s in a name? I’ve always thought of Pro-Photographers as those who make a living as a photographer, everyone else falls into the amateur category. Some sell photographs as a hobby while holding down their full-time job, thus semi-pro. It’s never meant anything more or less than that. However, many seem to place some sort of creative distinction based on these labels. “I’m only an amateur.” It’s often heard as some sort of voluntary defense to insulate one from any rejection, as if your images are immediately less important or sub-standard.
David duChemin reminds everyone, that’s just not the case. Just create what you love. Follow your passion. And don’t apologize for it.
This is recovery week and a much welcome recovery week I might add. Core Synergistics wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be, don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely no piece of cake either. I had made the mistake of previewing the routine a bit and thought it’d be really difficult. [...]

Please excuse the mess – again. I just can’t resist change and found this new Wordpress theme earlier in the week and needed a site with some content on it to play with. I figured those of you who visit here are probably used to it by now.

It’s been a fairly difficult week as far as the exercise is concerned. I really tried to push myself the first three days this week, doing less reps and lifting more weight. The workouts have been exhausting and typically take me an one and half hours or more to complete – I press [...]

Well, it’s been three solid weeks of the most intensive exercise I believe I’ve ever done. In all honesty it’s difficult at times to find an hour to hour and a half to focus on exercise, but believe it or not it’s still something I look forward to doing.
It’s already interesting to look back and [...]

Can “IT crawl out from under the ambition-crushing, innovation-sucking, soul-destroying minutiae of just keeping the digital lights on.”
An interesting line from a recent article in Computerworld. Seems the passion within IT of truly engaged professionals has fallen from a high in 2007 of 12% to only 4% in 2009.
Without a doubt it’s been a difficult [...]

It’s been a long week and difficult first week. I thought I was in decent shape, but nothing compared to where this exercise program is going to take you. The Yoga routine (day 4) pretty much wiped out the soreness – 90% of it I’d say, before it I could hardly walk. I’m starting to [...]

It’s day 3 of week one and I can sum it up in just a couple of words… ou, ou… ooouuuch! It’s pretty easy to see how a person would be in the best shape of their life in only 90 days, there’s simply no question in my mind. Basically there’s only two possible outcomes; [...]
